Workforce Reshuffling Underway in the U.S., Says Anthony Pompliano

Anthony Pompliano, Founder & CEO of Professional Capital Management, recently shared a post highlighting what he views as a major shift in the U.S. labor market, driven by current government policy.
In a tweet backed by labor data charts from @zerohedge, Pompliano argues that the Biden administration is orchestrating a significant overhaul of the American workforce — one that reverses previous trends and prioritizes native-born workers and private-sector employment.
Native-Born Workers Gaining, Foreign-Born Numbers Declining
According to Pompliano, the current labor shift shows over 1 million new jobs for native-born Americans, while the number of foreign-born workers employed has dropped by approximately 410,000. He notes that this reversal marks a departure from past trends, which often saw stronger job growth among foreign-born populations.
While Pompliano expresses a preference for not politicizing the native-born versus foreign-born worker debate, he acknowledges that government statistics are broken down this way for a reason. He suggests the shift reflects an intentional policy realignment, emphasizing jobs for U.S.-born citizens.
Government Workforce Shrinks, Private Sector Expands
In addition to the population-based shift, Pompliano points to another major labor market change: a decline in federal employment.
According to charts he shared, monthly changes in government jobs have turned negative, with several months showing clear workforce reductions. At the same time, job creation in the private sector appears to be on the rise again.
Pompliano sees this as a positive trend. He argues that a strong economy can’t rely solely on public sector expansion and that most people welcome more private sector opportunities. “Regardless of what you think about the current administration,” he notes, “it is obvious there is a shift in policy.”
A New Economic Direction
Pompliano concludes by acknowledging that policy shifts often come with both pros and cons. Some will support the changes, others may push back. However, he insists that the data makes one thing clear — a labor force realignment is happening, and it’s impossible to ignore.
